For as long as I can remember my dad would take my siblings and I to White Lane Donuts every now and then after church on Sundays. It's a small yet cozy donut shop that's usually filled with older gentlemen sharing coffee, donuts, and conversation. The donuts are all of your classic flavors and they're fluffy and fresh in the morning. I like to order the jalapeño ham and cheese croissant though since I don't have a crazy sweet tooth. It's yummy and savory! read more

White Lane Donuts - Jalapeño Ham & Cheese Croissant - Donuts Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This has been my go-to for donuts for the last 10+ years. Very friendly customer service. This place is definitely the spot for donut lovers. Very nice selection, and everything always tastes fresh. They will definitely satisfy your craving for a sweet treat. The only catch is that you can't sleep on them. Recently visited around 8ish in the morning and was hoping to get a specific donut (chocolate old fashioned) and they were all gone So get there early for best selection. I'm sure (depending on what time it is) that they'll replenish and remake certain donuts, but if you show up too late in the morning you may be disappointed if you want a specific type. So if you want to try the variety you'll have to get there early because once they're gone, they may be gone for the day. Definitely try the nice selection of various coffees and smoothies, equally tasty. read more

Best donuts in town, I have been coming to this spot since I was a child. The owner is very nice

This is a no frills mom and pop donut shop. No fancy gourmet donuts here. Place seems real popular with the locals in the morning. Was a group of about 8 guys hanging out at their dining area inside the shop. Looked to buy my "go to" donut when it comes to visiting a shop for the very first time. Did not see any custard filled chocolate donut though. The gentleman behind the counter said they had some. He went to the back and returned with it. Bit into it, and it was still nice and warm. It was on the small side compared to other shops in town. At $1.25, it was more expensive than most of the competition too. Bottom line is that I would return, if I was in the area craving donuts. Not a destination spot though. read more

They have an A health grade. Love me some cheat days, because we always end up at these mom-n-pop places that are (fire!). Sadly, we had errands to run beforehand, so by the time we got here, the daily donuts were basically gone! Luckily, we're not too picky with our indulgences. We ended up walking away with a couple apple fritters, donut holes, ham & cheese croissants & a strawberry croissant. The ham & cheese is my favorite from any donut place and this one was no different! He even warmed them up for us right there in the shop. My only complaint is that this place is so popular that the donut demand doesn't fit our schedule haha! 5/5 would return again and again. read more

I don't know where to begin... Well for starters the owners are very nice. I go there maybe twice a week just for the soda... Did I mention that it comes with crushed ice? And for the large its $1.25 after tax. I've been to a few donut places here in town, but I always head to this one cause the owners are super friendly and the donut holes are amazing. Not only are they amazing, but they are a dozen for a dollar. I think the only negative thing about this place is sometimes ill head there around 4pm and they are already closed even though they say that they close at 6pm. But with this economy I can't dock them a star for that. If you want some good donuts this place is the go to place. read more

Donuts are overpriced in comparison to three other donut places. Not much of variety. Quality was less than expected.

Donuts were super fresh, the owner was very sweet and welcoming. Definitely felt welcoming seeing long time customers just hanging out enjoying foot talk and coffee. read more

Mom and I wandered in here at noon to find a very small selection of donuts, only five trays. Most donuts here cost $.80 or $.90 each, which is reasonable. The donuts didn't look very fresh, they had that glassy look to them that reminded me of fish eyes so we opted to try the cream cheese croissant at $1.50. There was a lot of cream cheese filling and it was very tasty. The pastry was fluffy and flaky perfection. My mom made the comment that she would even consider taking these to her friend Mindy which is VERY high praise indeed coming from my mother. Every time she goes to see her friend Mindy she'll take her a dozen cupcakes from the likes of Sweet Surrender, Cupcakes~N~Crema, and Frosting Ink, very upscale bakeries. For her to put these cream cheese croissants into that category was a major coup for this little mom and pop donut shop. The five stars are for the cream cheese croissants since we weren't brave enough to try the donuts. White Lane Donuts also sells Dragonfly smoothies and Big Train blended ice coffees though we didn't try them on this visit. My mom has liked the Dragonfly mango smoothies we've purchased elsewhere. There is a cooler with limited bottled soda options. Pepsi, A&W and Dr. Pepper but no diet versions. It is stocked with Sobe drinks, though no Sobe lean, juice, water, Gatorade, frappuccino, and both white and chocolate milk. There is a $.50 transaction fee for all debit or credit card transactions. read more

Terrible experience. I stop by a few times before heading the work, ordered the usual a coffee and a ham & cheese croissant. Somehow my card did not go through, but luckily I always have a $100 bill for emergencies since I did not have any other change. It wasn't one of the new version bill but an older one but in perfect condition. The owner did not want to take it, he kept looking at it and I told him it was real just an older version. I even took out my ID along with my teaching ID from a nearby school yet he decided not to take it. The worst thing is that he straight up told me "give me back my coffee and croissant" and took it away from my hand. A few people were behind me, rude! Never felt so damn disrespected. Terrible service! read more

Stopped here for donuts etc. I got a cream cheese croissant. Delicious, nice and warm. Place was empty and the trays were empty as well but lady behind counter said more fresh batches were coming out. While there another group of customers arrived and overheard then saying it gets packed. Writing this review I am now craving a croissant! read more
